A Midland man was arrested Sunday for allegedly choking and shoving a woman and causing injury to a child, according to court documents.

Alberto M. Guevara, 31, was charged with a third-degree felony of assaulting a family or house member impeding breath and a state felony of injury to a child. He was being held Monday on a bond of $25,000 for the assault and $15,000 for the injury to a child charge.

Police officers were dispatched to a residence on West Taylor in reference to an assault, according to court documents.

A woman said she and Guevara got into an argument about text messages she found on his phone, and he grabbed her by her throat and threw her into the wall, according to the arrest affidavit.

The woman allegedly hit her head on a picture frame, which broke. Guevara grabbed her by the neck and she couldn’t breath, according to the affidavit.

Guevara told officers he grabbed the woman and pulled her back in the bedroom where the argument occurred, according the affidavit.

A boy then approached the officer and said that his hand hurt because he was cut by glass from the picture frame that had broken, according to the affidavit. The boy said he tried to push Guevara away during the assault and at this point glass fell and cut his hand, according to the affidavit.

An emergency protective order was filed, according to the affidavit.

If convicted of the third-degree felony and the state felony, Guevara could face up to 10 years in prison and two years in jail, respectively.
